Imagine a job where you can change someone's life by doing the things you take for granted?

As a Support Worker at Affinity Trust, you’ll play an important role each day by supporting people to take part in the activities and experiences they value, helping them to live with confidence and independence.

It might be something simple like taking a walk to the shops to get a pint of milk; or something bigger like supporting someone to visit the gym for the first time, start a new hobby, or even take a trip abroad.

The gentlemen we support at this location are very active and love to get out into the community. They enjoy walks, eating out, going shopping and bowling.

We provide complete training to enable you to provide the best support you can to people living with learning disabilities, autism, or mental health needs.

What truly matters is your kindness, positivity, and desire to make a difference in someone’s day.

Allowing people to fulfil and enjoy their daily routines and achieve their goals

Building trust, connection, and independence

Developing yourself alongside a compassionate, mindful and dedicated team of colleagues
